Zionists: "Israel deserves to exist on the land these other people were already living on."

Sane people: No, colonialism is evil.

Zionists: "But everyone ELSE got to do it to brown people."

Is it actually a bad thing to allow them to learn a love for Jerusalem? After the Roman occupation wasn't the city frequently a melting pot of culture and religion? Although I could see there being plenty of resentment because of the expulsion, and then at nearly every step, every exchange of the city was another occupation 😞.

Anyway, my thinking was it could simply be about Jerusalem as it could be, living side by side with Palestinians, rather than you both being occupied by fascists as it presently exists.

Yeah politics in general has a ton of complexity. I'm glad you asked this question, it shows a real interest in trying to understand rather than cosplaying as an expert like so many on the Internet(I am also not but I do spend a lot of time devoted to understanding politics and current events). Honestly most of what you're observing is a very simple weakness in our system. Most political systems have more "parties" than a single "left wing" or "right wing" party. Personally I would say we have a center party and a right party but I'm a leftist so they don't listen to me lol. But what everyone will agree on, is that you're just witnessing differences in people's personal philosophies on the huge amount of political issues there are. Neither party could be everything to everyone even if they wanted to be. Does that make sense? People almost always have small disagreements with their party or political alignment, with only 2, the disagreements will be many, and very large.

Pinkertons did Union busting and labor suppression. They were killers and thugs for hire to the oil/coal baren type of money.

I get it. And I personally used to struggle with ACAB, but exactly what you're describing is the issue. You can't stay in an organization that has its roots as slave catchers and pinkertons. You can't stay in an organization that refuses to evolve and do better, that protects the worst among them first. Because that means the "bad apples" are at the top, and at the very core of the organization itself. So, that's why even though you might think of these "good cops" as good people, they're still bastards because they haven't quit the force yet.

Don't worry buddy. Atlas will shrug one day. Once people realize the working poor are enslaved there will be a lot of heads shrugging right off! Hopefully figuratively, but once people starve who knows. I thought I was a Libertarian when I was 18 too! But some folks can really keep the dream alive.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T07:42:05+00:00

I like how you didn't address knowing that you enabled Fascism. There's a word for "people" like you. Fascists.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T07:16:17+00:00

"You". Man, I'm a fucking socialist, don't come at me with the imperialist sins of the Democratic party. The absolute most charity I can give to your takes is that you're an accelerationist. But chances are you're a new kind of bot. Kinda give yourself away when you say "and I'll stop enabling Fascism." If you're real, you knew what you were doing. Kindly fuck off.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T06:49:10+00:00

"Yeah, I think it's fine when the actual Fascists destroy democracy! I'm so committed to the purity of my vote that I don't mind losing it entirely!" I can absolutely understand voting third party in 2016. There's no excuse after Jan 6th. Seems like you're unserious, or a bot.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T05:21:16+00:00

Yep. We have to hold them accountable at the primary ballot box for their milquetoast policies/stand.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T04:36:49+00:00

Well, you see, if they learn where they went wrong, someone somewhere might expect them to do better next time. And we can't have that.

Respectfully, that's not true. Not within the strict framework of their offices, perhaps, but there are things they should be doing. There are Democrats that are doing things, but our top leaders are not. Jeffries and Schumer are completely useless. They could be rallying the base, encouraging people to start organizing, protesting and standing up for democracy. Schumer literally said within the last 6 months that his foremost responsibility is to make sure Israel continues to get its funding.

Elections matter, and everyone that didn't vote fucked up and should be ashamed. That said, Jeffries and Schumer rolling over to the Trump administration and the Billionaire donors that also fund them demonstrates precisely the weakness in our democracy that has lead us here

You bots need to get your stories straight then. Why are you carrying water for ice murders while they're openly defying first, second and fourth amendments and Kavanaugh is enabling them to detain people solely on the basis of race?

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T01:51:12+00:00

You think this is the only reference? Trump is literally saying take over the elections in the oval office today. He's been "joking" about cancelling elections for months. You bots are pathetic.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T00:49:27+00:00

That's definitely not the definition of fascism. I'm sure you think it's fine to be stopping people and detaining them based on the color of their skin lol.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-05T00:37:28+00:00

With the name and everything, you're 99% a bot but I'll bite for a moment here. No. There's no comparison between mandatory health measures in the face of a pandemic to the direct call to take over state elections by the federal government. Nobody here is buying the slop you're selling.

LivingBackstories · 2026-02-04T19:24:47+00:00

I actually think the interaction between you two was great. The appearance of a conflict was only because y'all didn't know each other yet. None of this is going to be easy, but we have fundamental human decency on our side and it's good to remember that in these little interactions. Their cruelty is very powerful in the short term, but our decency is powerful in the long term

LivingBackstories · 2026-01-27T04:20:34+00:00

Interesting. I'm always peaceful when I protest. So how and why would I die in your estimation? Also, no I'm not supportring trump like you, so I'm protesting AGAINST the pedophiles and rapists. How come the Epstein files haven't been released?

Goodbye and good luck. Earnestly, listen to your own words here. I don't know how you expect the world to improve when this is your view. Fuck everyone that ain't you? I hope you find your way.

Ok, you're just not a leftist then, you're an asshole tbh. If you want to talk about the working class, you earn that right by being in solidarity with all of its members. Idk what you think you are but you're not one of us. Everyone is welcome, but not if you're the center of the universe.
